Population order
For memory configurations with a single processor or multiple processors, populate the DIMM slots
sequentially in alphabetical order (A through F).
After installing the DIMMs, use RBSU to configure memory support.
Installing a DIMM
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the hard drives, memory, and other system components, the air
baffle, drive blanks, and access panel must be installed when the server is powered up.
1. Power down the node (on page 21 ).
2. Remove the node from the chassis (" Remove a node from the chassis " on page 21 ).
3. Remove the access panel (on page 22 ).
4. Open the DIMM slot latches.
5. Install the DIMM.
6. Install the access panel (on page 23 ).
7. Install the node into the chassis (" Installing a node into the chassis " on page 27 ).
8. Power up the node (" Powering up and configuring the server " on page 28 , " Powering up the system "
on page 21 ).
To configure the memory mode, use RBSU (" HP ROM-Based Setup Utility " on page 53 ).
Hot-plug hard drive guidelines
When adding hard drives to the node, observe the following general guidelines:
• The system automatically sets all device numbers.
• If only one hard drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest bay number.
• Drives should be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are
grouped together into the same drive array.
